Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

Seeing this, Lan Yuan and the others also took out all the top-grade spirit stones they could and handed them over to her.

"You can keep this."

An Ling smiled and said, "We have enough high-grade spirit stones; you can have all the top-grade spirit stones."

The others smiled, which touched Zhong Ran deeply.

These friends weren't made in vain.

"Thank you!" She reached out and took it, thanked him, and then turned and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Zhong Yan and Mu Jinning followed, and A Sheng also quickly followed.

"Let's go and take a look."

A determined look flashed in Yun Tianyu and the others' eyes; cultivators would inevitably face tribulations sooner or later.

By exposing the body to the power of thunder beforehand, the chances of success later will be much greater.

As soon as I entered the Thunder Mountain area, bursts of lightning power entered my body.

However, this is only the outermost edge, and this amount of lightning power has no effect on them, not even on Ah Sheng.

Lan Yuan and the others followed at a distance, not moving very fast.

The area is covered with unidentified low-lying weeds, constantly trampled by people. Given the occasional bursts of lightning nearby, it's quite remarkable that there are still some weeds here.

There were occasional charred patches on the ground, a truly shocking sight.

Therefore, everyone walked very slowly, keeping an eye on Zhong Ran and the others ahead.

Zhong Ran and her brother, A Sheng and Mu Jinning, are the most talented and unfathomable geniuses among them.

Consider this: even Lou Ying could only protect the many powerful figures from the City Lord's Mansion and help them escape.

Zhong Yan single-handedly defeated all those powerful figures, leaving the City Lord's Mansion speechless and forced to apologize.

With them scouting ahead, and the others following cautiously, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Seeing that Zhong Ran and the others had already entered the Thunder's range, yet continued to walk in as if nothing had happened, they also became excited.

Such a large Thunder Mountain, perhaps the thunder power inside isn't that strong?

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a child's wrist, flashed down from the mountaintop, heading straight for Zhong Ran and his companions.

The onlookers outside covered their eyes and screamed in fright, but only Old Fang and the others stared intently without blinking.

Zhong Ran looked up, ignored it, and continued walking towards the foot of the mountain.

There are few crops on the mountain; it's mostly scorched earth or black rocks, and some unusual wild grasses.

There were also some cultivators on the mountain. When they saw the lightning strike down, they quickly dodged or used their treasures to block it, not daring to confront it head-on.

The entire mountain was permeated with the power of lightning, but the power was not very strong. Lightning-elemental cultivators and some powerful individuals would gradually adapt and feel much more comfortable.

But one dares not be struck head-on by a bolt of lightning; even if one is not killed, one will be seriously injured.

If you keep doing this, there won't even be any crumbs left.

The lightning struck, but instead of hitting the four of them, it struck the foot of the mountain in front of them.

A thin spiderweb appeared on the ground, then slowly disappeared.

"Sister, there's something strange about this mountain."

A normal mountain, struck by lightning day and night, would have long since become a flat plain, or even a deep crater.

But the mountains here are still so high, and we have no idea exactly how high they are.

It's truly bizarre that the soil on this mountain could regenerate on its own after being cleaved.

They had never heard of anything so strange.

Zhong Ran looked up at the high mountain and felt a strange sensation in her heart.

"That's really interesting. Let's go up and take a look."

She turned to look at them and said softly, "Are you confident about reaching the summit?"

Just because others can't reach the top doesn't mean they can't.

"Try it."

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!

They are actually geniuses who think highly of themselves, but they rarely show it in front of others.

Now, faced with this mountain that had few legends, they all wanted to explore its secrets.

The moment the four stepped onto Thunder Mountain, the mountain, which had been quiet except for the occasional bolt of lightning, and shrouded in the power of thunder, suddenly began to boil.

It's like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil, causing the oil to boil and burst open.

Thunder Mountain was in this state at that moment.

Countless bolts of lightning struck down from the mountaintop, and the cultivators who had been cautiously exploring the hillside cried out in alarm and ran frantically down the mountain.

Even so, quite a few cultivators were still struck and rolled down the hillside.

Although he was in a terrible state, at least he survived.

This is not the end, but merely the beginning.

Thunder Mountain seemed to come alive at this moment, with lightning everywhere, like a fine and dense electric net, enveloping the entire Thunder Mountain, so that people outside could not see anything.

Lan Yuan and the others, who were about to approach, stared in shock, then quickly retreated, their faces pale.

"How could this happen? Has Thunder Mountain mutated?"

"Will my junior sister and the others be alright?"

"I didn't see them come out, so they must be alright."

Before, you could still see some, but now you can't see anything at all. All you can see is a dense mass of lightning power swirling around, making your scalp tingle.

"Let's not go up yet, let's wait and see."

Old Fang said softly, "Those four are no ordinary people, so they should be fine."

I have to say, ginger is still spicy.

They had lived for hundreds of years, were knowledgeable and well-read, and knew many strange tales.

Zhong Ran and the other three have extraordinary physiques and exceptional talents.

Zhong Ran was determined to advance her career at Thunder Mountain, so she must have been absolutely confident.

The main problem is that they can't really help much; they can only watch.

Their guess was correct; far from causing any trouble for Zhong Ran and the other three, the power of thunder actually made them feel quite comfortable.

A dense surge of lightning energy seeped into his body and circulated throughout his body.

At first, there was a tingling sensation, which gradually disappeared, followed by a feeling of comfort.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhong Ran and her brother quickly circulated their cultivation techniques, transforming the power of the thunder into their own strength.

Ah Sheng shook himself and grinned, "Sister, climbing this mountain is quite comfortable."

He has a special physique, and it is difficult for ordinary people to make him feel pain. In fact, some people's attacks are not even enough to tickle him.

But climbing this mountain today gave him a tingling, numb feeling—a numbness that seemed to emanate from his very bones, making him feel so comfortable that he wanted to lie down and sleep right then and there.

Zhong Ran glanced back at him and knew he could definitely withstand the power of the lightning.

"It will be more comfortable up there if you climb higher."

Ah Sheng smiled and strode up the mountain: "Okay, let's climb the mountain!"

Zhong Ran then looked at Zhong Yan and Mu Jinning beside her. After experiencing the lightning tribulation in the Tomb of the Gods, the lightning power here seemed weaker.

"Are you okay?"

"It's alright, let's keep going up." Zhong Yan followed Ah Sheng's footsteps, but his body trembled involuntarily a few times.

Mu Jinning was similar; a small sapling was faintly visible above his head, surrounded by a rich, vibrant energy.

He reached out and took her hand, his voice trembling and soft: "I can handle it. Let's go, let's go upstairs and take a look."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Ranran, you don't need to worry about us. Just focus on cultivating and breaking through to higher realms."

He looked up at the mountaintop, then turned to look at her: "Do you feel anything special?"
